[PROBLEMS] To use foods, medicines, cosmetics, fragrances, and animal feeds using natural materials with abundant experience in human use, high safety, stable and available in large quantities, and excellent flavor. It is to provide a lipase inhibitor that can be added. SOLUTION: A lipase inhibitor comprising vanilla beans, particularly cured vanilla beans, as an active ingredient, and an extract obtained by extracting vanilla beans using water or a water-containing organic solvent is an active ingredient. Instead of vanilla beans, a residue after extracting a flavor or spice extract from vanilla beans can also be used. [Selection figure] None |
